Because of You—August 2016

Incoming Seniors Return from College Summer Programs

This summer, HSPVA Friends awarded $25,000 to 26 students to help them pursue their passions and further develop their skills at specialty programs around the country. As they return to HSPVA for their senior year, they are eager to showcase everything they have learned.

Claudia says, “Textile design has been a passion of mine and having the opportunity to explore and learn more about it in an advanced and independent environment is amazing. I learned more about modern patterning, textile design, and new techniques that can be implemented into my own designs.”

Lizzie says, “I took the Digital Photography core course and Illustration workshop. In these classes, I became more skilled with digital media and narrative art, which I will apply as I elaborate upon my artistic vision.”
